- Medieval Scandinavia presents ten groundbreaking thematic studies of various aspects of the social and economic history of the three medieval Scandinavian kingdoms, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. The contributing archaeologists and historians present a wealth of findings. With new information prompted by methodological advances they give us fresh perspectives on population estimates, coinage, trade and travelling, and building activities reflecting economic and social well-being. There are novel insights into complex topics such as gender dynamics, work and wage structures, and the importance of Saami networks. The Scandinavian countries are studied individually and together as an entity in a European context. The volume is a contribution to scholarly studies, but at the same time makes fascinating reading for anyone with an interest in medieval history, with facts ranging from the impact of plagues to vernacular architecture.
